Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PrepScanner at 100% against My Microphone's 12%. PrepScanner also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). My Microphone's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
